I call Bullshit on the False rape accusation sticky from Mens Lib sub. Actual lies are being told.

Fact Checking False Rape Accusations and Why We Shouldn't Fear a False Rape Epidemic.

📷

One of the main resistance to changes in how police and society handle Rape, Sexual Assault and even Harassment is the counter argument that men then would be plagued by False Rape accusations. The fear is always that we crossed some line that no longer allows reasonable doubt and that one man life can be sent to jail by one accusation. We of course have seen stories of such things in the news and everytime we question wither these are isolated stories or a sign of a larger epidemic we don't get to see. When does the drive of combating rape go to far? Is it an issue to fear?

So how common is this issue? Is it really a threat to men? How many false rape accusations are there?

How Many False Rape Accusations are there?

Most experts agree that false rape accusations make the total of 2-10% of the total accusations of rape. As quoted from the handbook

A multi-site study of eight U.S. communities including 2,059 cases of sexual assault found a 7.1% of false reports (Lonsway, Archambault, & Lisak, 2009).

Link to it here --> http://www.scirp.org/(S(i43dyn45teexjx455qlt3d2q))/reference/ReferencesPapers.aspx?ReferenceID=1238871)/reference/ReferencesPapers.aspx?ReferenceID=1238871)

A study of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston from 1998-2007 found a 5.9% of false reports (Lisak et al., 2010).

Using qualitative and quantitative analysis, researchers studied 812 reports of sexual assault from 2000-2003 and found a 2.1% of false reports (Heenan & Murray 2006).

And why not add some more papers to the mix.

2017 Study into the FBI Database found that between 2006 to 2010 the Average number of false rape accusations or baseless accusations was 5.55%, and robbery had a higher false and baseless accusation rate of 5.76%

Another metastudy by Claire E. Ferguson, and John M. Malouff published in December 17th, 2015 put the number of False Rape Accusations at 5%

​

So keep in mind that ALL of these numbers are minimums. These all represent the number of false rape accusations made to the police that provably false using rigorous standards.

​

And while it may be small, the 2-10% is actually 2-11%. They round that 2.3% number down to 2% so it's only fair to round the 10.9% up to 11%. You can either say 2.3%-10.9% or you can say 2-11%. It's a small thing but it irks me.

​

But all of these numbers are minimums. Just like when 3-5% of cases end up with convictions. That means a minimum of 3-5% of rape cases taken to the police are true. A MINIMUM.

This three minute youtube sums it up very well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8zSDvaYrRw&list=LLIiza3uxnPBzZKoXthGOenQ&index=9&t=0s

​

​

Now I know that 2-10% is alot and enough to give anyone pause considering how epidemic sexual assault is. But consider a few things.

1 in 6 of women report they have been sexually assaulted.

​

If you check the link it takes you to Rainn. The 1 in 6 women will be rape in their lifetime comes from where? I checked the footnote. Oh it's from...

National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Prevalence, Incidence and Consequences of Violence Against Women Survey

This is the precursor to the CDC NISVS survey. Guess what the CDC NISVS survey also found? It found that for years of 2010-2012 female-perpetrated "made to penetrate" sexual assault on men, (rape, for lack of a better word,) was at parity with male perpetrated rape for these years. Let that sink in for a minute.

When you are done letting that sink in, ask yourself why a sub called r/menslib is not mentioning that in 2012 there were over 1.5 million instances of female-on-male rapes according to the CDC NISVS survey in 2012? (Although they don't call it that, but prefer the more awkward, "made to penetrate" sexual assault) '

This links to the CDC NISVS survey data so you can check for yourself. The lifetime stats are much lower than the year over year and despite my inquiries to the CDC I have not gotten an answer as for why that is. However, for each year of 2010, 2011, and 2012 we find parity between the sexes for sexual assault/rape perpetration. Look at the 12 month data.

​

This blog does a very good job of breaking this down:

https://recalculatingthegenderwar.tumblr.com/post/162336650896/new-cdc-data-again-finds-as-many-if-not-more

​

Only a 1/3rd of sexual assaults are reported to police. So at its 2-10% of 33%

This statistic covers if or not an accusation is false, wither or not a specific suspect is named which I will show below is a more interesting stat. The majority of false rape accusations are made against non existent strangers the victims claim they don't know.

​

This is a nice rabbit pulled out of the hat. Why are we assuming that all of the sexual assaults not reported to the police are true? I for one have been the collateral damage victim of a false/baseless rape accusation made on social media. Ostensibly, rape accusations that are not taken to the police and are merely posted on Twitter, Facebook, or added a circulating anonymous rapist list, or made at a bar, or something... are MORE likely to be false. Not less. Yet this author would have you believe that they are all 100% true. Magic!

Of course there are many rapes that happen that are never taken to the police. For example, the 1,5 million incidents of female on male "made to penetrate" rape that I mentioned above. Almost none of these are reported. Less than 1 percent. These male victims of female perpetrators are hidden by systemic cultural bias.

​

Soo how many false rape allegations lead to false arrests and convictions then?

How many people Falsely Accused of Rape actually go to Jail?

Thankfully we found that the answer is very low.

National Registry of Exoneration who keeps track of how many innocent people have been... well... exonerated found that since 1989 in the US 52 people have been exonerated for sexual assault that they didn't do. People exonerated on false accusations of Murder was 790 people.

Note: Innocent Project has listed 276 exonerated with Sex Crimes, this is the highest number I can find. Thanks /u/MealReadytoEat_

British Home Office did a detailed study and report on the issues of false rape accusations in 2005 and found that out of the 216 cases of rape that was false in the UK, 126 of them have a formal complain filed by the accuser, 39 of them had a named suspect and only 6 of them were arrested. Out of the 6 arrested only 2 have charges and 0 of them had a conviction.

Another Study by the University of Pittsburgh found that only 18% of False Rape Accusastions name a suspect

​

Nevermind the fact in 1996 the FBI backtested over 25,000 rapekits and found that 1 in 4 excluded the primary suspect, in almost all cases, as fingered by the primary witness/alleged victim.

https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/dnaevid.txt

Conducted in June 1995, the nationwide telephone survey of 40 public and private laboratories that performed DNA tests sought answers to such questions as: From the time the laboratories began DNA testing, how many cases have they handled? Of that number, what percentage yielded results that excluded defendants as sources of the DNA evidence or were inconclusive?

The 40 surveyed laboratories yielded 19 whose available data were sufficient for the purposes of this study. The 19 included 13 at the State/local level, 4 in the private sector, an armed forces laboratory, and the FBI's laboratory.

Most of the laboratories had initiated DNA testing only within the previous few years. Twelve began testing between 1990 and 1992. Three of the four private laboratories began in 1986 or 1987, while the FBI started DNA testing in 1988.

Seven of the laboratories reported using RFLP testing; four, PCR testing; and eight, both types of tests. The 19 laboratories reported that, since they began testing, they had received evidence in 21,621 cases for DNA analysis, with the FBI accounting for 10,060 cases. Three of the 4 private laboratories averaged 2,400 each; the State and local laboratories averaged 331 each.

In about 23 percent of the 21,621 cases, DNA test results excluded suspects, according to respondents. An additional 16 percent of the cases, approximately, yielded inconclusive results, often because the test samples had deteriorated or were too small. Inconclusive results aside, test results in the balance of the cases did not exclude the suspect.

The FBI reported that, in the 10,060 cases it received, DNA testing results were about 20 percent inconclusive and 20 percent exclusion; the other 18 laboratories (11,561 cases) reported about 13 percent and 26 percent, respectively.\*

Unfortunately, the laboratories were unable to provide more details. They did not maintain data bases that would permit categorization of DNA test results by type of offense and other criteria. What happened to the suspects who were excluded through DNA testing also cannot be determined. Were they released, or were they charged on the basis of other evidence, for example? Thus, only the most general information is known about the results of DNA testing by laboratories. To obtain more detailed information would require a comprehensive research project.

That's hard forensic data that puts the ballpark figure of false rape accusation at about 1 in 4. Now to be fair, some of these may have been genuine mistaken identity. But if you are the man under arrest by the police accused of rape, you would call that a false rape accusation.

​

​

Fact is that the majority of false rape accusations don't even name a suspect. And throwing this into the picture of the total of the numbers of rape really proves how rare false rape Convictions are. Vast majority of false rape accusers always accuse a non existent stranger who raped them and usually not someone specifically. Which means that beyond wasting time and resources majority of false rape accusations are harmless to the general public because no one person is accused.

When you take these studies and add them to what we already know about rape a more complete picture forms:

1/6 women claim to have experience sexual assault, follow by a 1/3 reporting the assault to police, then worst case scenario 1/10 are false. Out of those false rape accusations 9/50 name a suspect, out of false rape accusations that accuse someone 15/100 get an arrest and, out of those who are arrested for a rape they didn't do only 1/3 have charges placed against them.

​

This is so wrong as to be a lie. Remember, according to Dr. Lisak's metastudy, a minimum of 2-11 percent of all rape accusations taken to the police are PROVEN to be false.

​

So 1/6 x 1/3 x 1/10 x 9/50 x 15/100 x 1/3 = 0.00005

Which mean out of all the women you meet you have a 0.005% chance of being falsely charged of Rape.

A blood vessel in my frontal lobe just exploded. I can't even begin to understand what the heck he is doing with the numbers here. Can anyone help me out with this. Like I have a headache just from trying.

​

Compare this to the fact that 6.4% of men openly admitted of committing the strictest possible definition of rape and 23% of that 6.4% admitted of multiple rapes.

​

This link is dead. But let's look at a couple other studies that look at the number of people openly admitting to committing rape.

Hogben, Byrne & Hamburger (1996) Lifetime prevalence of 24% for women having made a man engage in sexual activity against his will

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J056v08n01_05

Sexually Aggressive Women Anderson, Struckman-Johnson 1999 – 43% of college women admitted to using verbal or physical pressure to obtain sex (No ebook available. I've ordered a print copy in the mail but it won't arrive for another week.)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6245084/

I'm just saying, there is one half of the equation being left out here. It is likely the smaller half. But why are we still pretending in 2019 like it doesn't happen? It happens all the time. Go check out r/teacherswhorape for a daily update of female pedophiles.

Why False Rape Accusations happen?

Many people who fear False Rape Accusations claim that women in the work force will make a False Accusation against a man in a higher position, or a student who is going to fail an exam will accuse a professor, or rape or that a vengeful ex, or a woman who regretted sex later.

But the realities of this is very surprising.

According to a review done by the LAPD found the reasons for a False Rape accusations is unwanted pregnancies or more commonly "Missed Curfews" by young teenagers. It turns out that 55% of False Rape Accusations according to this review are for hope of getting medical care or psychiatric medication by the very poor and destitute

Also it is noted that half of the False Rape Accusations are made by Parents of children. Either by pressuring the child to go to the police or accusing someone of rape without the child knowing. It is also important to note that the rare Serial False Rape Accusers tend to have a history of being a legitimate victim Sexual Abuse as a child.

As this shows that the False Accuser the majority of the time aren't the serial accusers we hear on the media nor are in tech jobs, nor college students who regret sex. Instead it is usually either the very poor looking for free medication, teenagers trying to get out of trouble and parents of children who make the vast majority of False Rape Accusations.

Also there are no corolations with the age of the accusation or the number of sexual partners of the accuser and wither their accusations are true or not. Add this to the fact that most legitimate victims lie to themselves and others saying that they weren't sexually assaulted when they really were. This denial often is due to the fact that the majority of victims know their abusers personally before the assault and often change their stories or denied that they were as a way to cope the trauma. I can personally attest to that.

Why does he leave out De Zutter(2017)? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313830325_Motives_for_Filing_a_False_Allegation_of_Rape

Reasons for a false rape accusation:

• Material gain: to receive money, professional promotion) or other material benefits.
• Producing an alibi: a false allegation is used to cover up other behaviour, such as being late or absent to an appointment.
• Revenge: to retaliate against a disliked person by damaging the reputation, freedom or finances.
• Attention: an attempt to receive any kind of attention, positive or negative, by anyone.
• Sympathy: a special kind of attention-seeking whereby the complainant tries to improve a personal relationship with a specific individual.
• 'A disturbed mental state'; this may include false memories ("sexual hallucinations") or pathologic lying.
• Relabeling: consensual sex is relabeled 'rape' to the police, because of its 'disappointing or shameful character'. De Zutter et al. argue that a distinction should be made between some acts during a consensual sexual encounter that a participant did not want or had no desire to engage in but nonetheless gave consent to (e.g. to please their partner) on the one hand, and rape (nonconsensual sex) on the other, but that many lay people and even some scholars do not make this distinction and confuse the two. It is often when accounts of such 'unwanted consensual sex' are told to friends and family that the latter interpret it as rape, and put the complainant under pressure to file an allegation.
• Regret: after having had consensual sex, a complainant experiences negative feelings such as disgust, shame, and sorrow; when others notice this and ask about the source of these negative feelings, they are prone to view the encounter as rape and put the complainant under pressure to file an allegation.

'Don't know'

According to De Zutter et al. (2017), 20% of complainants said that they did not know why they had filed a false allegation.[8]

​

While we are at it, wikipedia also lists false memories as a reason for a false rape accusation.

False memories[edit]

There are several ways in which an alleged victim can accidentally come to believe that they have been raped by the person(s) they accuse. These include, but are not limited to:[7]

• Recovered memory therapy: memories of sexual abuse 'recovered' during therapy in the absence of any supporting evidence, based on the Freudian notion of "repression)"[7]
• The victim's confusion of the memory of the real rapist with the memory of someone else
• Memory conformity: memory can become contaminated when co-witnesses discuss their recall of events

​

Let's not forget that in the UK, "alleged" rape victims are paid in cash regardless of whether the accused is found guilty or not.

Jemma Beale collected 11,000 pounds before being caught. That's a hell of a side gig. falsely accused nine men of raping her on separate occasions, while a further six had supposedly sexually assaulted her.

https://thewarrzone.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-hard-lessons-of-jemma-beale.html

She is unique in that she is one of the rare false rape accusers to be prosecuted.

​

​

Why didn't you include those other "Studies"?

Since I am from the future I know this will be bring up sooo I will nip it in the butt before it shows up in the comments. And if they still show up without talking about this section of my effort post you have my permission to shame them.

Small thing, but the saying is "nip in the bud." Like a plant. Shame is how feminism works, right? They shame people into submission. Like #metoo. If you stand up to a false rape accusation they shame you as a RAPE APOLOGIST.

​

People who fear the False Accusation "Epidemic" that is supposedly happening like to point to the "other studies" on these issues. What are these other "studies" and why don't I use them in my analysts? Well because they are bad. Flat out bad or rely on a misconception of the nature of sexual assault. And there are alot of them. Lets take sample out of the list Wikipedia provided.

​

Also these studies expose a much larger issue when it comes to research into sexual assault.... What is Sexual Assault and what is False Sexual Assault. When you look at studies the older ones tend to have uhhhhhh questionable views of what is and isn't sexual assault.

I would say the same argument could be flipped on the new definitions of rape coming our of Academic feminism.

​

Then if you look at other higher studies like Kanin and Jordan you figure out that they are working on the police definitions of False or Not. Unfortunately that means that they consider a story false if the victim:

Failed a Polygraph Click here if you wanna know why the Polygraph is ^^^bullshit

If the victim delayed reporting their rape

If the victim was "Intellectually Impaired"

If the victim has signs of mental illness

If the victim was intoxicated

If the victim withdraw the complaint

And if the victim was determined by police to be a "Slut"

​

​

There are criticism to make of Kanin. Small sample size, sure. Undisclosed location, also iffy. But according to Kanin, the police only classified an accusation as false if the alleged victim confessed to it being false AND they were able to corroborate the new story with the defendant and other witnesses. It did involve a serious, but not mandatory, offer of a polygraph test. But the offer of the polygraph test was merely a catalyst. An accusation was on classified as false if the alleged victim herself recanted. In 41% of the cases, the alleged victim did so.

There are legitimate concerns about this study I listed above. But the author has told another lie. No accusation was regarded as false at any time because of a failed polygraph or for any of the above listed reasons. I'll have to read the Jordan study because the author definitely lied about Kanin so I can assume he probably lied about Jordan as well. In fact, I completely distrust this guy.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01541619

​

While false complaints do occur, approximately three-quarters of the incidents concluded by the police to be false appeared to have been judged to some extent at least on the basis of stereotypes regarding the complainant’s behavior, attitude, demeanor or possible motive. Suspicious file comments were made by the detectives regarding a woman who laughed while being interviewed, others who were seen as ‘attention seeking,’ and some who were said to be ‘crying rape’ for revenge or guilt motives.

Attention seeking, Revenge, and guilt are all common and legitimate motivation for a false rape accusation according to self confessed accounts accumulated by De Zutter 2017. See above.

​

That's right. 75% of False Rape Accusations labeled as such by police were not because they were proven false but on the gut feelings of the police. Which means we get plenty of false false rape accusations. This is probably a bigger issue then men being falsely accused of Rape. There have been plenty of documented cases of police pressuring victims to sign false confessions claiming they made up their sexual assaults. Its why one of the major reasons why out of 1000 rapes only 6 rapists will go to jail while for robberies 20 will go to jail and 33 of assault and battery.

Using Fear as a WeaponWhy do we talk about False Rape Allegations all the time, and how its used as a political weapon.

The police deal with the shittiest people of society all day every day. You are allowed to be skeptical of the police. You are not allowed to completely write them off. I call bullshit. It might not be as high as 75% but it's high. In the UK false rape accusations are so common that police now demand that "alleged" victims hand over their phones when making an accusation that can check to see if they texted the accused the following morning something like, "Thank you for the great sex last night."

​

Though most rational people don't see this as such a major issues within far conservatism and the Manosphere you tend to see false accusations be pushed as the major issue against men. In fact I decided to do my own study where I went to r/MenRights typed it "Rape" and look at the 102 top posts by r/menrights on the subject. I only accepted posts of two categories, male victims of sexual assault and stories on false rape accusations. As expected r/MenRights had more posts about false rape then male victims of rape.

Stop kidding yourself. False rape accusations are a HUGE concern for men. Innocence is no defense against a rape accusation. Your life, your reputation, your friends, you family, your career, your honor, your legacy are all permanently and irrevocably damaged by a false rape accusation. It's shameful.

​

As you can see despite the fact that men are 1 in 33 in odds of being raped, that 1 in 10 rape victims are male, and as stated before only 0.005% of rape accusations lead to a man being arrested as stated above. MRAs post more about and care more about false rape accusations then male victims of sexual assault. Why is that? Why do we even talk about false rape so much if its more rare than males being raped? I get a suspicion that plenty who champion this cause are arguing disingenuously.

Interesting that he mentions a man being arrested but how come so few women are arrest for rape even though there are multiple studies going back to the 1980s indicating it's massively underreported.

​

False Rape accusations are not RARE. They are AT LEAST 2-11 percent of all rape accusations taken to the police. I'd bet that number is much higher since the #metoo movement when every single sociopathic liar KNOWS that they will be #believed. Oftentimes in spite of evidence.

​

False Accusations are rampant enough that only segregation can solve it

Yeaaaa... This covers harassment as well. Plenty of people have been using the fear of false rape accusations against men as proof that women should be "isolated". They also openly brag to each other that they "won't hire more qualified women because I am too scared of a lawsuit". As stated before the case of someone falsely accusing someone else in the workplace environment is ultra rare as most false rapes come from children or the homeless, and the vast majority don't name suspects. If anything men should be worried about sexual harassment from coworkers as it is way more statistically likely that men will be a victim of sexual harassment then falsely accuse of harassment themselves.

Choose one.

Adopt a #Believewomen policy and eliminated due process for men in the workplace.

Or demand that women be hired at equal rates as men.

​

False Rape Accusers should get same length sentence as Rapists

This is a common cry for those within the MRA movement is that these false accusers are getting off to easy. That they ruin countless men lives and only get slap of the wrists. But that shows a great error in their thinking is the trust that the criminal justice system gives just punishments to rapists in the first place. If we are going to punish false accusers the same way that we do punish rapists then false accusers should get:

10 Years of probation

3 Months of Jail

5 Years of probation

​

Instead of listing three anecdotes, how about some actual data?

"Prison sentences for rape are not uniform. A study made by the U.S. Department of Justice of prison releases in 1992, involving about 80 percent of the prison population, found that the average sentence for convicted rapists was 9.8 years, while the actual time served was 5.4 years. "

But just for fun, let's look at three false rape accusations that resulted in jail time:

Colo. man imprisoned for 28 years after woman dreamed he raped her expected to be freed after convicted rapist admits to crime,

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/new-trial-man-jailed-28-years-dream-rape-claim-article-1.2469667

Accused Of Florida Rape 70 Years Ago, 4 Black Men Get Posthumous Pardons

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/684540515/accused-of-florida-rape-70-years-ago-4-black-men-get-posthumous-pardons

Lest we forget Emmett Till

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till

​

​

That of course doesn't count the countless who have sexually assaulted and get away with it. If MRAs called for this guideline I can't help to feel they would be even more disappointed in the sentencing expecting 20 years but IRL only getting a few months. If we treated false rape accusers the same as rapists then we as a society wouldn't take them that seriously.

For both men and for women. Countless women who have sexually assaulted and gotten away with it.

​

Also I want to quickly address the other MRAs call for those who have been falsely accused to be placed on the Sex Offender Registry Lists. Uuuuuuuhhh What?!? This is improper use of such a list number 1, and 2 that publicly available list would then create a public list of people you can rape without repercussions. Think about it. If you publicly branded people as "False Rape Accuser" then which people would rapists target?

​

I'm actually opposed to the Sex Offender Registry Lists as they currently stand in our country. Female Pedophiles are very often offered a plea deal to stay off the registry.

​

​

Putting extra laws and punishments on this mush smaller issue of False Rape Accusations put more pressure on legitimate victims of sexual assault. Under the existing law there are cases of legit victims being classified by police as false victims. If you add additional punishment then we will punish legitimate victims of rape 20 years in prison for just reporting their rape and police not believing in them. And that will have a chilling effect on the rest of victims of sexual assault out there. Its hard enough as is, but if you are unable to prove it and you "act like a slut" then you could face jail time

This is just as true for rape victims. The UK is seeing an influx of innocent men convicted of rape because of horrible #believewomen policies. It is an actual nightmare.

I think false rape accusations need to be rigorously prosecuted when there is substantial evidence of malicious intent. Just because the defendant is not convicted doesn't mean it was a false rape accusation. But in many cases, there is evidence of clear malicious intent, yet the false accuser is not punished, "lest we discourage others from coming forward." (Other false accusers?)

Conclusion

​

That's why r/MenRights and Reddit as a whole under reports on male victims of rape. Because admitting that rape of men is a common thing only helps prove that rape in general is a very common affair and that the 1 in 6 statistic was right the whole time. That Rape is a real problem in western society and forces them to stop ignoring it.

​

Multiple written lies have been told by the author of this post. When it was first posted, a great many redditors pointed out how poorly his math was put together. Instead of changing or editing his post, he merely deleted the comments. That is called suppression of the truth and it makes you a bad person.

​

No one is denying that rape is a serious issue. The good news is that according to the BOJ, rape, along with other violent crimes has been dropping steadily since the 1960s. In 2012 the number pivoted because for the first time in USA history, the FBI legally acknowledged that men can be raped. Unfortunately it has been worded such that female on male "made to penetrate" sexual assault is still not rape. Women can only rape men if they anally penetrate them. We still have a long way to go for true gender equality.

​

So remember this TL;DR when you think about False Rape Accusations.

TL;DR

For both genders you are way more likely to be raped then falsely accused of rape.

Nobody actually knows how likely you are to be falsely accused of rape. At a minimum, 2-11 percent of rape accusations made to the police are false. Probably the number is closer to 1 in 4 due to hard forensic evidence of backtested rapekits that excluded the primary suspect, (as fingered by the alleged victim,) 23% of the time. But we don't really know. It's probably safe to say that you are more at risk of being false accused of rape in 2019 than at any other time in human history because of the public demonstrations of #believewomen. Many still believe Ford's accusations against Kavanugh despite being thoroughly discredited by Leland Keyser. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/just-didnt-make-any-sense-leland-keyser-now-challenges-story-of-kavanaugh-accuser-christine-blasey-ford

" I don’t have any confidence in the story,” Keyser told New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly

"Those facts together I don't recollect, and it just didn't make any sense," Keyser told the authors.

"It would be impossible for me to be the only girl at a get-together with three guys, have her leave, and then not figure out how she's getting home," Keyser told Pogrebin and Kelly. "I just really didn't have confidence in the story."

A few days before the hearing, Keyser’s attorney said, “Simply put, Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.”

"Keyser later said she felt pressure by both [Ford classmate Lucy] Gonella and Ford's friend Monica McLean to change her story," Pogrebin and Kelly wrote.

"I was told behind the scenes that certain things could spread about me if I didn't comply," Keyser told the authors.

​

#metoo has already been politically weaponized. This is ridiculous. WE are being gaslighted. This is bullshit.

​

The estimated number of false rape accusations are around 2-10% at the highest.

This is a lie on several levels. It's 2-11%. And that is a minimum. And that's if you only consider surveys conducted by feminists or women's advocates.

​

For 216 False Rape Accusations only 39 named suspects, and only 2 got charged. That means that only 18% of False Rape Accusations actually accuse someone and that only 0.9% of false rape accusations ended up on court.

I'm pretty sure this stat is referring to how many false rape accusers got charged. So now you are just making up numbers. You are either lying or grossly mistaken.

​

Vast majority of false rape accusations are made by Teenagers, Parents of Children, and the Homeless.

There's no way to know this. And there is also no citation.

​

55% of False Rape Accusations are in hopes of getting free medical treatment. Next major category is from teenagers justifying their absences to parents.

Did I miss the source for this. Why are you ignoring De Zutter (2017)?

​

tl;dr #metoo is a puritanical, sexist witchhunt that strips men of due process while refusing to hold women to the same standards, as per Asia Argento, Katy Perry, and Amber Heard. It's is a moral panic. Much like McCarthyism we will look back on #metoo with a deep sense of shame for vigilante mob justice conducted in the name of false rape accsusations.
